The Caps might also have an interest in acquiring 31-year-old veteran Peter Budaj, who has one year and $1.4 million remaining on his contract with the Montreal Camadiens.

In an interview on Tuesday evening, Korn said he has no specific preference on whether the Capitals should add an experienced backup like Vokoun or Brodeur for Braden Holtby, or someone who will challenge him for the No. 1 job.

“I don’t think I’m at liberty to start talking right now about who is going to fill out our roster and who’s not,” Korn said. “We’ve started to talk [about potential goalies], but we’ve got more work to do.

“I’ve seen it all ways. Two young guys, two old guys, a young and an old, an old and a young. It varies. I think it’s based on the people and based on the team.

“There’s a lot of different pieces to the puzzle you just have to play the hand your dealt and do the best you can. I’m not sure one is better than the other.”

Of the goalies set to become free agents, Vokoun is the only one with a history with both Korn and the Capitals.

When he was a young goalie with the Nashville Predators, Vokoun was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder and Korn introduced him to one of his former goaltenders, Clint Malarchuk, who had played with the same disorder when he was coached by Korn in Buffalo.

“We hooked Clint and Tomas up together and it was life changing and career changing for Vokie and that was great,” Korn said.

“We’ve had a fantastic relationship and we also stay in touch.”

Vokoun, who will turn 38 on July 2, missed all of last season after a blood clot was discovered in his leg during training camp with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He says he is completely recovered and is committed to playing in the NHL next season.

In 20 games as a backup to Marc-Andre Fleury in 2012-13, Vokoun went 13-4-0 with a 2.45 GAA and .919 save percentage. In one full season with the Capitals in 2011-12, Vokoun went 25-17-2 with a 2.51 GAA and .916 save percentage before a late-season groin injury opened the door for Holtby to land the No. 1 job in Washington.
